However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates the name as Αθαλία (Athalia) in the corresponding passages. Usage: Athaliah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a specific individual. Context: Athaliah was a queen of Judah, the daughter of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel of Israel, and the wife of King Jehoram of Judah. She is notably recognized for her usurpation of the throne of Judah following the death of her son, King Ahaziah. Athaliah's reign is marked by her attempt to exterminate the royal line of David, a significant event in the history of Judah. Her story is primarily recounted in 2 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles 22-23. After the death of Ahaziah, Athaliah seized power and ruled for six years. Her reign ended when the high priest Jehoiada orchestrated a coup, crowning Joash, the rightful heir, and executing Athaliah. Her actions and subsequent downfall highlight the tension between the worship of Yahweh and the influence of Baal worship introduced by her parents.
